I've recently acquired a set of monitor arms that allow for free rotation of my monitors. I'd like to be able to quickly switch from one orientation to another on the fly, without having to go through the trouble of accessing the screen rotation features of the operating system.

How do I set up a hotkey or shortcut to quickly switch the orientation of my monitor?

I should mention that this only appears to work on the primary display (i see no options in it's argument list for dealing with a second monitor, but that's the monitor I wanted to change anways)

The version there today (Version 1.2 (build 14)) does have an option to specify which monitor to rotate: display /device 2 /rotate 90

This is great! Also useful is C:\Display.exe /rotate:90 /toggle to toggle between the default rotation and the specified one.

Hmmm I actually decided to give it a try myself and for me it seems to bring up the Windows 7 Screen Resolution dialog from which I can change the orientation. Close, but no cigar...

Ctrl+Alt+Uparrow will do the job isn't it :-)

@avirk for some reason that doesn't do anything for me :S

@avirk That keyboard shortcut depends on your display drivers. For example, I believe if you have the Intel GFX or NVIDIA tray icon running it will work.

I had the same problem as you but i found out how to fix this kink. First got to Control Panel. Go to Display. Click on Advanced Settings. You will see 6 tabs. Click on the tab that says

Intel(R) Graphics and Media Control Panel.

You will see Graphics Properties at the bottom of the tab page.
Then select Advanced Settings and click OK. There will be 5 tabs. Click on the last tab. (Options and Support) You can set the shortcuts from there. Hope this helps!
